OHS Band United Scrip Program |
The OHS Band is excited to introduce a program that will totally change your concept of fundraising and possibly enable the Ola High School Band to raise thousands of dollars without costing our members and supporters one extra dollar. Our program utilizes scrip (a Latin term that means anything used instead of money). United Scrip currently has groups partnering with them who are earning between $8000 to $52,000 profit annually.
|
UnitedScrip is a unique program that focuses and maximizes your members' collective purchasing power and turns those normal spending dollars into profit for your organization. Literally thousands of dollars are spent monthly by our families for their normal purchases.
|
| How It Works |
UnitedScrip purchases gift cards (scrip) from grocery, restaurant, retail and department stores, locally and nationally, in large quantities, at a discount. Participating nonprofit organizations take advantage of a percentage (2% -20%) of this discount when they purchase the scrip from UnitedScrip. Your families and supporters purchase the scrip at full face value from our organization, and our organization realizes profits ranging from 2%-20%.
|
"Just imagine turning everyday purchases into cash for our band program."

Scrip orders can be placed at any time by filling out the form and dropping both the money and the form in the band room's BIG GREEN box. Orders usually take about a week or two to be processed. Parents will be able to pick up their Scrip orders as soon as they come in. Parents may also indicate on the form that they want the cards sent home with their child. Sometimes that is the easiest way to get the scrip orders home.
To order online use this link: http://scripzone.com/default.aspx. If you have internet access, it's easier to do this fundraiser by you placing your orders online and doing on-line banking. However, if that's not possible for you, then you can place an order using the forms attached, writing a check and turning it into the BIG GREEN box in the band room. If you do use the online Scrip order, please forward your confirmation by e-mail to Angela Bowen at for record keeping purposes.
